"Who are they, Penton? I am interested in these prodigies," laughed Mr. Carrhart.
"The taller of the two is Robert Jarvis. The other is Steve Rush, after whom the Rush Gravity System is named. You will remember, Rush suggested the change to the gravity system."
"Steve Rush?" exclaimed the president. "Why, I was going to ask you about the young man. I wish to talk with him, and the boy Jarvis, also. Rush is my find, you will remember, Penton."
"I was congratulating myself that I was his discoverer," laughed the superintendent.
"No, you will remember my sending him up to you with a letter. You know I saw that he had good material in him. He was a live wire, even then."
"I give way; the honor is yours," answered Mr. Penton.
The party was in great good humor.
"If you can spare your young friends from their duties, for a few moments, I should like to speak with them."
"Surely. Rush!"
